HUD Housing Affordability Thresholds
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) defines housing affordability
thresholds, adjusted for household size, based
on a figure known as Area Median Income, or AMI
(also referred to as Median Family Income, or
MFI). Many jurisdictions use these income
thresholds, in developing their inclusionary
housing requirements, while others adapt the
figures to reflect local conditions:
HUD
recalculates AMI every year for each MSA, PMSA,
or county in the United States. To see what the
AMI was for your area in FY2003, click
